3 Ingredient Caramel Pecan Macaroons

All it takes is three ingredients to make these fun caramel pecan macaroons. They are a bit caramelly candy and part coconut cookie. They are so fun!

Apparently dulce de leche and I are having a bit of a thing right now. Can you blame us? After making cajeta I just had to make some dulce de leche too. It is strangely satisfying to watch the milk concentrate and carmelize right before your eyes.

Then I had to make multiple batches to see how big of a difference the amount of baking soda makes. Spoiler alert: it makes quite the difference in the final color and less of a difference in the taste. So needless to say I had a lot to use.

While eating it cold from the fridge on a spoon was a perfectly viable option in my eyes, I couldn't wait to try more fun recipes with it!

And if you are going to make caramelly macaroons, why not add pecans? I mean really, why not? I envisioned it as a bit praline and a bit macaroon, or maybe like a german chocolate cake without the cake!

It takes longer to gather the whole three ingredients than it does to stir these up. Then just use a small cookie scoop or a couple of teaspoons to transfer small amounts of batter to a sprayed cookies sheet. Bake them until they are golden and set. Easy peasy!

Of course I couldn't help but add some chocolate to some of them. Just dunk the bottoms or drizzle a bit of melted chocolate on to take them to the next level!
